Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

For Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli, there are actually a lot of things they can get from Lin Daoqiu. Money is only one aspect, but what they want most is actual results.

Lin Daoqiu is now an internationally renowned screenwriter, and he is also the owner of Xiangjiang Cinemas. If he can come to Treasure Island to help shoot a few movies to promote Treasure Island, the superiors will definitely be very happy.

If they can make this happen, maybe in a few years, they can get rid of the bad words on their heads.

It can be said that in their eyes, Lin Daoqiu has become a cash cow and a tool for promotion for the two of them. It is no wonder that during the Chinese New Year, Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli were so anxious to ask Lin Daoqiu out to meet.

"Mr. Lin, actually I invited you here today because I want to cooperate with you on a few things."

After Xing Youli finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just smiled and said nothing. Although the other party said it was cooperation, Lin Daoqiu felt that they just wanted to get benefits from themselves, and Lin Daoqiu did not think that the other party could give them any help.

He has the money and market. Although Lin Daoqiu cannot say that he is the best in the world in terms of film shooting technology, in Asia, he feels that no one can surpass the Magic Studio he owns.

So these two guys came to him to cooperate. It can be said that they basically just wanted to take advantage of him.

"In that case, I'm all ears."

Lin Daoqiu was not in a hurry to reject the other party. After all, it would not be a good thing to break up with them directly, so Lin Daoqiu could only hold his nose and continue to stay here.

"Before, Baodao's movies never had much impact in Hong Kong. Now that the three theaters have been merged into one, we hope that Mr. Lin can give us more preferential treatment in the scheduling of future movies produced by China Film."

The purpose of Xing Youli's doing this is not to help China Film Group Corporation make a lot of money, but to make Baodao's movies more influential in Hong Kong.

Lin Daoqiu could see the other party's intentions at a glance. It was good enough that he had not kicked out all Baodao's movies, so it was naturally impossible for him to do this favor for Xing Youli.

"Director Xing, although I am the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Cinemas, the film arrangement plan still needs the approval of Mr. Zou and Mr. Shao. I cannot make the decision alone."

Although Lin Daoqiu did not explicitly reject the other party, the meaning behind his words had been made clear. If they wanted to get preferential treatment in the film arrangement, they would have to talk to Chow Wenhuai and Shaw.

Even if Chow Wen-huai and Run Run Shaw agree by then, it doesn't matter. Lin Daoqiu doesn't mind cutting down their film schedule and adding it to these films of China Film Group. Anyway, he will not harm his own interests for them.

"Mr. Lin, are you kidding? You now control 55% of the shares of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and Mr. Zou and Mr. Shao have a very good relationship with us. They will definitely not object if you mention it."

Xing Youli knew as soon as he heard that these were just Lin Daoqiu's excuses, but he also guessed that Lin Daoqiu would say this. If he hadn't asked for something from the other party, Xing Youli would have been embarrassed by now.

"Director Xing is not the one who has roundworms in their stomachs. This is just your guess. I think it would be better to call and discuss it with them."

Lin Daoqiu didn't abandon Xing Youli at all. After all, the other party was just a deputy director of the China Film Liaison Office. If he could scare him with just a few words, then Lin Daoqiu wouldn't have to mess around.

Hao Xiangxiao on the side listened to the conversation between Xing Youli and Lin Daoqiu, making him frown while listening.

Because at first Hao Xiangxiao thought this was just a trivial matter, he never even thought that Lin Daoqiu would refuse their request in this matter.

If Lin Daoqiu had this attitude, wouldn't the next thing to be discussed be very difficult?

When he thought of this, the expression on Hao Xiangxiao's face became even more ugly.

"Let's leave the film arrangement as it is for the time being. We will discuss it after we contact Mr. Zou and Mr. Shao."

For Hao Xiangxiao, this is just a small matter. He doesn't want to waste too much time on it because what he really wants lies behind.

So it doesn't matter to Hao Xiangxiao even if the film arrangement is not negotiated, after all, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

Then Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli suddenly looked at each other, and the other party immediately understood the meaning in Hao Xiangxiao's eyes.

"Come, let's toast Mr. Lin and wish you a happy new year."

After Xing Youli finished speaking, they all raised the wine glasses in their hands and toasted Lin Daoqiu with a glass of wine. It seemed that Xing Youli planned to use this method to resolve the previous unpleasantness.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to refuse to drink with them, so he smiled and raised the glass in his hand.

After finishing three handfuls of wine and putting down the cup, Xing Youli began his second round of offensive.

"Actually, Baodao has always admired Mr. Lin and has always wanted to find opportunities to cooperate with you. As long as Mr. Lin is willing to nod, we can provide you with whatever you need."

To put it bluntly, Hao Xiangxiao and Xing Youli planned to let Lin Daoqiu help them make a movie, which can be said to be the easiest thing to do.

As long as the film is finished and released all over the world through Lin Daoqiu's fame, it will be difficult for them to achieve results by then.

But for Lin Daoqiu, he had never thought about cooperating with Baodao to make a movie, so he was not interested in Xing Youli's proposal at all.

"To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to make a movie with Baodao, but unfortunately I can't spare the time now. I believe you two also know that I have just become the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and I still have some money in my hands.

There are two movies being shot."

Only he knows whether Lin Daoqiu is really busy, but now it doesn't matter how Xing Youli is investigating, because Lin Daoqiu is not afraid of what they can find out.

You must know that Lin Daoqiu is currently filming two movies, and he also has a lot of things to deal with at Xiangjiang Cinemas. How can he have time to film in Treasure Island?

Xing Youli had not investigated these matters carefully before. He only knew that Lin Daoqiu had just become the boss of Xiangjiang Cinemas, but he did not know that he still had two movies in progress.

But even so, they have already thought of a way to solve this matter.

"Since this is the case, we can't force Mr. Lin too much. I think it's better to just do this. Mr. Lin will write a few scripts for us. This shouldn't waste too much of your time, right?"

Everyone knows that Lin Daoqiu is a very successful filmmaker, but his most powerful thing is his ability to write scripts.

Hao Xiangxiao took a fancy to Lin Daoqiu's ability to write scripts, so he 'stepped back and asked the other party to write a few scripts for them.

It seems that Hao Xiangxiao's appetite is really big. You must know that the current value of Lin Daoqiu's script may even exceed 100 million US dollars.

This guy actually casually asked Lin Daoqiu to write a few scripts for him. I have to say that his face is really big enough.
